Guest Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 It's still basically the same and like riding a bike - you'll quickly get a grip on it. Does your school operate a " creative curriculum" throughout - it's been very successful for us and has injected life inyo lessons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have followed a Creative Curriculum for about 5 years it's been more successful in KS2 (which is why I'm going to KS1 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Lucky children Marion as I know you will make it just how it should be. How are you feeling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Very excited! I'm trying to decide what topic to start with and which books and just so much to think about ...... I will miss reception but feel a new challenge will be good for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I think you'll love it Marion. I always loved Early Years, but sometime worked with Y2 when I was Key Stage leader and I loved the maturity of the children and the level of responses I got from them. They seemed very grown up. I particularly loved doing drama with them and also creative writing. It was very very rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get my head round things perhaps we can share ideas. My head only asked me to think about it last week and now ...

Guest Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi Marion I too moved from teaching foundation where I had happily spent the last 10 years to teaching year 2 with the brief of making it more hands on, creative and introducing continuous provision. I am now a term in and if you ever feel like a chat. Please do get in touch...it's very lonely!! Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmajess Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Marion, that's so exciting! I have every faith in you - from what I know of you from here it sounds like you're the perfect person for the job. Really really let us know - in depth - how it all goes - difficulties, decisions you've made, planning etc. I'm FS and KS1 leader and desperately trying to persuade and then support my Y2 teacher to teach in this kind of way - its difficult when you've got lots of ideas but aren't actually in the situation. I'd love to go and do this in Y2 - in theory - but would have to be feeling very brave! But I know you can do it! Yay for EYFS practice in Y2! Good luck - and don't leave the forum, will you?! love Emma x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 My head has drawn up an action plan 1. develop classroom environment to allow free access to writing, role play, reading etc ops 2. understand children's interests and use these to plan rigorous opportunities to motivate effective learning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
